Jakey Loves Jesus

For the past several weeks, Jake has been asking us about Jesus and about heaven and salvation. He was also asking his grandma and his teacher a bunch of questions. Darrin and I were hesitant about teaching him about salvation because what does a six year old know about a decision like that? But his persistance encouraged us to trust that the Holy Spirit was touching his young heart. So in our living room, while I was at the grocery store, Daddy and Jake prayed together and Jakey asked Jesus to come into his heart. Then he cried.

AND I MISSED IT! That's okay though, my blubbering would have been a distraction anyway. What a special moment for Daddy and Jake. We are so proud of him.

In honor of his decision, we took him to pick out a brand new bible. Before we got to the book store he had decided that he wanted one with red and blue on it. And we actually found one.



I filled out the presentation page for him and wrote him a squishy love note. Then we added the date of his decision.



I think we are going to wait a little while before getting baptized though. Still a little skittish of water in the eyes.

YAY JAKEY!
